Post Graduation Doesn't Ensure Job!

A ton of engineering students opt for post graduate studies thinking that they'll get a suitable job and an edge over their peers. However, recent study has discovered that only 10% of the MBA students get the job; and that stat may as well extend to other streams of PG studies.

So if you are thinking of opting for PG studies thinking that it will make your chances of getting recruited; think again. It's going to be a better option to review your engineering subjects and try to get a job as an engineer.

Would like to have your thoughts on the same.

    Agreeing with u sir. My faculties were also asking to pay much attention on my present engg. subjects.

    This is very much true the world over with manufacturing jobs, which involve hands on engineering and I do not mean as a machine operator. PG degree is like specialization in medicine. It reduces your sphere of action and reduces potential for employment in diverse areas.

    If at all such is needed, can be done after joining a job and seeing if there is a need.

    There are exceptions of course. One of my friends did a PhD in Robotics at a top university in US, returned to India with a burning desire to start on his own. He started small. I also pushed him along with an enlightened self interest. I needed some hitech manufacturing of our heart valves. From the very first one there were no rejects inspite of stringent QC/QA protocols. His passion has led him on to open manufacturing facilities in tehnologically advanced countries like Japan and Germany.

    That is entrepreneurial passion. A mustdo attitude against all odds. If one has it and a PG is needed for it, one must do it.
    Well, one will do it.

    For me, post graduation always meant 'specialization' of some sort i.e. in some subject. Wondering if that is really true today.
    After graduation, the subject that has taken to our liking needs to be given time and due thorough study of that subject needs to be done. PG should be helpful for that.
    Doing it for getting a higher package is not really such a good idea.

    Ya..Sir you are absolutely right..I've also done mechanical engineering but right i've not any job because i want that type of job which fully suitable with my study...There are lot of students think this...but right now i want job..So sir can you help me??

    Agreed. I opted for PG coz I loved what I studied in graduation. PG gives me option to explore it more. Though its not exactly what I thought it would be, but still I am learning more. As far as job is concerned, according to my experience its not hard for a computer science graduate to get one, not sure about MBAs though!
